As I mentioned in this post, I’ve been weening off of Neurontin and guess what?! I’m finally off of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This time last year I was on 9 different medications. Now I’m down to 4 currently, 5 once I start back up on my blood thinners. But I’m heading in the right direction! YAY YAY …
I’m REALLY REALLY REALLY excited to announce that I’m going to start teaching health and wellness classes at the Avani Institute in McMurray, Pa.

I know, I know it’s #MedxMonday, but I couldn’t help but have to share! Today I’m on my way to NYC for a Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis Social Media Summit with Celgene.
